Could Kawhi and Klay to the Clips be the next Kyrie and KD (one player playing the season, one sitting out)?

And yes, my position would be reversed if the Celtics were receiving a discount lol

It's a fake discount. They're gonna use the trick with unlikely bonuses (someone mentioned 45 wins + 2nd round). So, unless they suck, they're gonna get that money.

Nah.

Smitty jumps the gun again...

Not sure when this board will realize he's not a news breaker.. Just another speculator like the rest of us who has a blue checkmark.

I think Fall has a better chance of playing in NBA games next year than Bol Bol. He just doesn't do anything special besides being huge but he can play. He can dunk, rebound, block shots commit a ton of fouls. He is 7'6" and 300lb and is reasonably coordinated.

He might be starting for us when we play Philly.

Ed Davis, once again, wins bargain signing of the offseason.

A Jazz man.

Celtics not exactly doing what is required.

Ainge had to pull a hat out of a rabbit, he and the idiot son failed.

Why is the FO sitting on their hands and not trying to get any big men?

Big man rotation is going to suck, especially against the likes of Philadelphia and Milwaukee unless Ainge make a trade.
Worse than last year's team on paper with Horford getting away.

Getting Kemba was a huge win but this team has a ways to go before it can contend.

Davis’s contract seems to match up with the Room Exception.

Derrick Favors definitely appears to be gone from Utah. Rudy Gobert wrote a Twitter post wishing him well in the next chapter of his career.

Does Utah have all this dough to spend? I’m confused...

Room exception is 2/$10m. You get that if you use your cap space and cannot use MLE

He really doesn't. It's more on the idiots who are running the teams who determine it. Thankfully the Celtics have Ainge.

Well the lakers will be favorites next season if that happens. They will find a way to build that roster up.

Chill..... None of the big men we are rumored to be interested in have signed. Why is everyone worried?

Next year maybe, but Bol if healthy, he could be really good in 3 years. If Tacko plays 1 NBA minute next year I’d be surprised. Let’s see what he can do in Vegas and Maine.

I really hope Danny has a plan and that it doesn't include Kanter. At least not as the starting big. We need a strong presence defensively.

LOL I lie to myself at times too.

Where am I off base? Philly is essentially trading Butler and Reddick for Horford which is a huge L. Milwaukee is losing Brogdan....The Raps could lose Kawhi. Butler is going to a treadmill in Miami and Indy mildly improved.....I don't see where we are taking some kind of hit

Post #1619 » by **Celtics_Champs** » Mon Jul 1, 2019 2:13 am

Celtics will sign Kanter by the end of the night is my prediction.
